Why it's important to select the correct vehicle and tyre size
Vehicle
There are a surprising number of vehicles that cannot use traditional snowchains, the types that put chain on the inside of the wheel as well as on the tread. This is usually because there is not enough space between the wheels and the shock absorbers; this can be a problem for ordinary SUVs and 4x4s as well as for high performance cars.
You will find this important information in your car handbook - please check this before using your snowchains! Our database is intended to do the basic work for you but, with so many new vehicles and tyre sizes, it should only ever be treated as a guide.
Tyre size
Please also check your tyre size - if you buy incorrectly-sized chains they will be either too tight or too loose.
Ladder track chains
The good news is that car handbooks usually only refer to "traditional snowchains". Ladder track chains such as the Polaire GRIP and Spikes-Spider range only put chain over the tyre tread, so are not subject to these restrictions. They are also ideal for use on rear wheel drives where there is minimal space between the top of the wheel and the wheel arch.
It's really important to select the correct vehicle, paying attention to the year of the manufacture

Overview:
These chains are fitted from the outside of the wheel without any need to move the vehicle, and really are as quick to fit as car chains.
Drivers who have experienced the effort of fitting old fashioned truck chains, getting behind the wheel to join the inner loop of chain, will be amazed at this modern technology!
If you are looking for chains for twin wheel vehicles then we recommend the Maggi Select MATIC – it is not easy to pull the Select RING chains between the two tyres.

Maggi's Select RING chains are made from half round 6mm diameter cross section links, built into a rhomboid-shaped mesh to give very good lateral grip as well as excellent forward grip. Fitting is both quick and easy. Push one end of the cable around the wheel at ground level, lift both ends of the cable and attach them together at the top of the tyre before pushing them behind the wheel. Join the outer chain ring and then pull the tensioning chain tight through the self-locking ratchet. These are not self tensioning chains so you’ll need to make a further tensioning stop once the chain has properly shaken itself into place, usually after 10 metres or so. Specifications: - Made from alloy steel (high boron content), core hardened and electrolytically galvanized
- The flexible inner cable is 8mm in a polythene sheath, 17mm diameter in total
- The flexible inner cable is joined with a special latch that works even in freezing conditions
- Select RING chains are supplied in pairs, in a nylon bag with carrying handles
- Approved to ÖNORM V 5119 (N 2008 045)

Delivery FAQs
When will my order arrive?
There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays, except for postable items where Royal Mail has a Saturday delivery. Express Delivery orders placed on a Friday (before 1pm) should be delivered on the Monday or Tuesday, Express Delivery orders placed on a Saturday or Sunday should be delivered on the Tuesday or Wednesday. The arrangements for Very Heavy Items are different and are shown above.
What about Next Working Day delivery?
We have offered a reliable Next Working Day service for well over 20 years but, due to the pressure on the couriers caused by the coronavirus crisis and the huge increase in online shopping, we can no longer be confident about the delivery date, which is why we now call the service ‘Express delivery’. Most Express delivery orders will arrive on the next or second working day, but some will arrive on the second or third working day, or be split between these days. So-called “split deliveries” happen when the couriers do not have enough trailer space for everything that should be moved around the UK, so they will load what they can and leave the rest for the next trailer.
Is my delivery day guaranteed?
No retailer or courier company can ever "guarantee" a Next Working Day delivery. As well as split deliveries, all courier companies occasionally have the same transport problems as can happen to everyone else, including snow blocked roads, closed roads, traffic jams, mechanical breakdown, an inability to find the delivery address, or to gain access to it if, for example, it's in a block of flats. We work with some of the best couriers in the business, and overall they provide an outstanding service.
Do I need to be at home?
We are very flexible with our deliveries and will aim to deliver to an address which suits you – this does not need to be your home address. Goods can usually be left without signature - we prefer this with roof boxes. There's a "Special Delivery Instructions" box in the checkout area where we'll ask you to choose a typical instruction and then amend it to suit your particular requirements.
Payment options:
We take the following cards, and also PayPal. Please note that the entry on your card statement will be from "The Roof Box Company".
